iGB and ICE have joined forces with SOFTSWISS to introduce the Tech Race Summit 2026, an event dedicated to facilitating discussions on engineering and technology within the iGaming industry. This summit is set to take place on September 10, 2026, in Warsaw, Poland, and aims to bring together experts from major tech companies to explore the systems that drive contemporary digital businesses.
The summit will feature leaders in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, cybersecurity, observability, and AI from renowned firms such as AWS, Google, Oracle, Cloudflare, Fastly, Gcore, and ScyllaDB.
In collaboration with the WorldGaming team, who will serve as media partners, the Tech Race Summit will create avenues for further engagement in the critical discussions initiated during the event. The dialogue will continue at ICE 2027.
The event program will concentrate on technical decision-making, real-world engineering experiences, and the future of digital infrastructure. Despite an abundance of industry events each year, there has been a notable gap in venues for stakeholders to address the technology challenges common in high-load industries from an engineering standpoint.
Margaret Dunn, the portfolio director at WorldGaming and formerly with Clarion, stated, "Technology is becoming one of the defining forces in iGaming, yet dedicated engineering discussions have remained relatively rare. As we will be focusing on this topic at ICE 2027, we are pleased to support Tech Race Summit 2026."
She added, "Encouraging knowledge sharing across the industry is something we see as an important responsibility, and we believe these conversations will benefit the entire sector."
Sergey Kastukevich, the CTO of SOFTSWISS, highlighted that the event promises to be a platform for exchanging practical knowledge and understanding the future directions of cloud infrastructure, AI, and high-load systems.
AI has emerged as a significant theme within the iGaming realm, with numerous companies actively adopting large language models. One notable instance includes Cubeia, an iGaming platform provider, which is utilizing AI to automate the creation of its backend and frontend code, enhancing its ability to update clients swiftly.
The trend extends to other applications of AI in the industry, including AI-enhanced live casino experiences and slot games. As AI technology continues to proliferate, it will bring to light broader challenges associated with adoption and the technology leaders fueling this evolution.
Early bird tickets for the Tech Race Summit will be available until July 31 on the event's official website.
